Watch the video from this week's Google+ Space Hangout

Fraser Cain has organized a weekly Space Hangout that happens at 1800 UTC on Thursdays, and kindly invited me to participate. This week's lineup included him and me as well as Pamela Gay, Nicole Gugliucci, Alan Boyle, and Ian O'Neill. In this week's space hangout, we talked about the search for super earths, the non-discovery of life on Venus, new images from the far side of the Moon, nature versus nurture in star formation, and the tests of SpaceX's new rocket system. Check it out!

If you do watch and enjoy this Hangout, please give it a "Like" on Youtube or a "+1" on Google. If you'd like to watch live, tune in next Thursday, February 9, at 18:00 UT. I finally have a dedicated URL that you can keep in your calendar for next week: cosmoquest.org/Hangouts.
